Chapter 7: Old Woman 7

Several people rushed back, still holding farm tools, and the mud on their feet was not cleaned.

The person who ran at the front was Zhang Youcai, he was so scared that his tears came out, he had heard the reputation of the third master, and his methods were extremely cruel. It’s bad luck.

The door was pushed open with a bang, and Zhang Youcai was the first to bear the brunt. One of the shoes flew out from his feet, and the others who followed closely behind were equally embarrassed.

Because the three big men who came to collect the money from Liu Dashan Pass, stood neatly at the moment, while Ning Qiu was sitting in the middle of the yard, picking bracken in his hand, Zhang Xiaobao was also squatting Helping by the side is not as miserable as they imagined, on the contrary, it is still leisurely.

What’s going on here?

Ning Qiu said lightly, “Xiaobao, take the bracken to the kitchen and put it away.”

“Mmmm.” Zhang Xiaobao nodded and went to the kitchen with a vegetable basket.

Seeing such an obedient Zhang Xiaobao, everyone is not in the mood to care.

“Mother, are you okay.” Zhang Youfu and Zhang Yougui came up and worried.

They stood by themselves, looking at the third master nervously, with a posture of desperately trying to get entangled.

Liu Dashan shrank aside quietly, he just wanted to cry now, the old lady is so sturdy that even the third master is obedient.

I really regret it, he shouldn’t be greedy for that money and deliberately pull Zhang Youcai to mix it up.

“I’m fine, he’s fine.” Ning Qiu looked at Zhang Youcai with indifferent eyes.

“Zhang Youcai, did you lie to me about what happened two days ago?”

To the old lady, her son is very important, but if she dares to do bad things, even things that involve money, no one can stop her when she gets angry.

I have been a widow since I was still young, and I have to support a family by myself. At this age, I have seen all kinds of wind and waves, and naturally I will not simply want to rely on children to support the elderly. This can be seen from the old lady’s grasp of the money, and she has never missed a bit of wind.

And the old lady would be so angry that she would die because she heard Liu Dashan’s leak, saying that Zhang Youcai owed a lot of gambling debts outside, and she was so angry.

“Mother, I…” Zhang Youcai opened his mouth to defend, but Liu Dashan and the third master were both present, he only felt that the sky was dark, and this time it was really over.

Nothing at all, he took two steps forward, bent his knees and knelt directly in front of Ning Qiu, lowered his head, and put the matter out of the tray, “Mother, I was wrong. Some time ago Liu Dashan and I went to the town to sell chickens, and the price was very good that day. He suggested whether to go and play, but I refused. But he said that he went there once and earned a tael of silver for ten pennies. I, I also wanted to make money, so I couldn’t hold back and went along.”

“I made a full 12 taels of silver just by going there twice. This is something I never dared to think about before. I originally wanted to stop gambling, but I made it all thinking about it. Twelve taels, if I play a few more games, I will definitely make more money. But I didn’t expect that I would keep losing. Until the first two days, I lost a total of 22 taels, and I also borrowed 50 taels from the casino. The interest is one hundred cents a day. They promised me that I would pay back the money in a few days.

The scene was very quiet, listening to Zhang Youcai tell the whole story, the old Zhang family, except Ning Qiu and a few children who were not very sensible, all stared at Zhang Youcai angrily, If it wasn’t for the old lady who didn’t speak, they couldn’t help punching.

Seventy taels before and after, they still owe hundreds of wen in interest, they work at sunrise, they can’t rest at sunset, they can’t save less than 10 taels of silver at the end of the year, but Zhang Youcai In just a few days, I lost seventy taels, and there are still high interest rates!

The third daughter-in-law was stunned for a few seconds with a pale face, and when she recovered, she just fell to the ground, dropped her feet and cried, “God, why is my life so bad? Bitter! How could I be blind, married to someone like you, Zhang Youcai, I hate you to death!”

No wonder the private house money she hid was gone, she thought she had forgotten where it was hidden, and was so anxious that her mouth grew a few bubbles, but she never thought that Zhang Youcai would take it away!

“Zhang Youcai, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you! I’ve been married to you for so many years, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t let me live a good life, you still go bet, why don’t you die, Zhang Youcai !” The third daughter-in-law burst into tears, and she rolled and crawled to Zhang Youcai’s side, punching and kicking while crying sadly.

Zhang Xiaobao stared at this scene with dazed eyes, he didn’t know why his parents wanted to do this, but he was afraid to step forward, and grandma just said, if you have to stand in place, there will be egg custard eat.

The yard was filled with the cries of the third daughter-in-law, all of them expressing their sadness and Zhang Youcai’s incompetence. No one was talking at the moment, and Liu Dashan wanted to find a hole to hide. Shrink your shoulders to minimize your presence.

“Smart, you take your brother and sister to the backyard.” Zhang Youfu said, this scene is not good for children to see.

“Yes.” Zhang Cong Cong, who had just descended to the ground together, wanted to pull Zhang Xiaobao and the others away, but was stopped by Ning Qiu, she snapped.

“Stand here for me to watch, show me clearly, what a person needs to learn in the world, that is self-control and responsibility!”

Escape is never the best solution.

Since it happened at home, it is an example to learn from. As long as they are part of this family, no one can leave.

Ning Qiu stood up, took the thorns leaning against the chair, stooped slightly and walked to Zhang Youcai, looked down at him, and said in a calm voice: “Your father died early, I pulled you five brothers and sisters to grow up by myself, just so that you have a bite to eat, so that you will not starve to death. But I forgot one thing, sometimes the most missing thing for you is not that bowl of living food , but education.”

“My old lady, although I don’t know a few words, I almost starved to death at the most difficult time, but I don’t steal or **** and get close to those dirty things that will make me unable to get up, even if You can raise five of your brothers and sisters even by chewing on the bark. Today, unfortunately, there is a scum in the family. It is my fault as a mother for not educating you properly. ”

Sometimes years of hard work, even a son, will be taken for granted.

They went through hard times with the old lady, but all the difficulties were blocked by the old lady first. understand them.

“Mother, I was wrong, I was really wrong!” Zhang Youcai burst into tears, crying like a child who was about to be abandoned.

“Mother.” Zhang Youfu and Zhang Yougui also knelt down, and even the two daughters-in-law and several children knelt down with them.

In this scene, Liu Dashan and the third master were also taken aback. Thinking of the power of the old lady, they lowered their heads even more, not daring to take a breath.

Ning Qiu sternly said: “Pain is the best way to wake up. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. Fifty whips, if you are not convinced.”

“Serve, mother, I’ll take it, I’ll take it!” Zhang Youcai nodded hurriedly, crying until his nose came out.

Ning Qiu didn’t make a sound, the thorns in his hands were directly whipped on Zhang Youcai’s back, and it was only ten whips. His back was already vaguely red, but Zhang Youcai The whole time I clenched my fists and endured it, the veins on the back of my hands appeared, and the pain was so painful that I shivered.

“Mother, if you have money, he knows it’s wrong. Please don’t fight again. If you fight again, he will die. Mother, daughter-in-law, I beg you!” She would be ruthless, she ignored Zhang Youcai and hurriedly hugged Ning Qiu’s feet and cried.

She cried just now, part of it was naturally anger in her heart, but more of it was crying to the old lady, hoping that she would soften her heart, but she didn’t expect it to backfire.

Seeing that Zhang Youcai was beaten to death, blood dripping from the back of her clothes, she was so nervous that her heart was in her throat, and tears flowed down, Zhang Youcai is her husband, no matter how angry she is I don’t want to let him have an accident.

“Mother, the third brother knows he is wrong, please let him go this time.” To see Zhang Youcai really had an accident in front of him.

“No, I, I did something wrong, fifty whips, one whip, can’t be less.” Zhang Youcai clung to the ground with both hands, sweat dripping from beans, but he still used the last strength to squeeze out the sentence.

Perhaps among the three brothers, he is the most inaction and the one who likes to cheat the most. picture.

Hearing this, Ning Qiu’s hand holding the thorns trembled slightly, and the softest part of her heart was severely touched, she could clearly feel that the old lady wanted him to have a long memory and was distressed Unbearable residual emotion.
